clicking through 19 pages would make me quit before I got there. That's why
I like Chris's PDF form so much. Just scroll down.

Sounds like you did a fine job on the orders. The garden themes are a great
idea. I like that.

A lot of them are like this online [Chris - take note!]
I came across another silly one that did a suitcase thing like Heronswood.
Also several who want to give you plant points to keep you coming
back....?... I don't want to keep coming back to a mailorder place - I do
it all at once if possible so I'm not killed with shipping. And another
with the dumb thumbnail thing instead of a list; I had to click through 19
pages of numerous thumbnails each to get to the Ts because there was no
ability to jump to a certain page and no search. They are all trying lots
of different things. But aren't making it easy for me.

Two gardens wanted Athyrium 'Silver Falls' and we don't let 2 gardens have
the same plant, so, since the same 2 gardens also wanted Brunnera mac
'Looking Glass', the Fen got the Silver Falls and the Patio got the
Looking Glass (because their theme is Alice in Wonderland). Then, from
the same supplier of these (Plant Pics) I got B. mac. 'Silver Wings' and
A. nip. 'Pictum-Applecourt'. I wish they were all that easy. I still
have 2 gardens who haven't turned in lists - deadline was 2/17.

LOL! And just who are these very informative people you are ordering
from? Remind me to stay away from them......

"send bare root #1 divisions whenever possible to reduce shipping
weight. Depending on the type of plant, and the needs of their root
system, most will be washed and shipped with no soil, some will be
shipped potted and some are an un-potted rootball."

Oh, yeah. That answers my question. That covers about every possible
way - so how is MY plant being shipped?
